On the night of April 18, 2020, 24-year-old Pearris Clark was shot in a parking lot on Courtney Place in Landover, Maryland. Around 11:30 p.m. officers found four people with gunshot wounds; Clark and 26-year-old Eugene Deondre Jones were pronounced dead at the scene and two others were taken to a hospital.

Detectives concluded the shooting was not random and tied the violence to a dispute over an illegal drug transaction, which became the case’s primary motive. Days later, on April 23, 2020, homicide detectives arrested 27-year-old Uhland Richardson of Upper Marlboro and charged him with first- and second-degree murder and other related counts; a commissioner ordered him held without bond.

If anyone was in the area that night or has information about the dispute or the shooting, please come forward.
